When I go to Help for Quicken Bill Manager, and then to Setting up Quicken Bill Manager for Quick Pay and Bill Pay, I see this:
Setting up Quicken Bill Manager with Quick Pay and Check Pay Check Pay makes mailing a check to anyone nationwide fast and easy. Once you have set up Check Pay, you will just enter the payee's name, address, and amount into Quicken. We?ll automate printing, stuffing, and mailing a check drawn off of your own checking account.
It is most common to set up Check Pay during the setup for Quick Pay.
Note: Bill Pay requires the use of a checking account. You will need to set up your checking account in Quicken before you set up Bill Pay features.
Adding an online bill To set up Quick Pay and Check Pay, you will first need to add a bill. If you have already added a bill, you can go directly to Setting up Quick Pay and Check Pay.
Select the Bills & Income tab. Select +. Select Online Bill. Enter or select the name of your online biller. Link your bill by entering your login information. It may take some time to process the login and sync the account. If you run into an error, check your login info and try again. Click Done when complete. Your bill is now linked, which means you can pay it through Quicken. The linked bill will appear on your Bills & Income page. You can continue to add bills using the same method.
Setting up Quick Pay and Check Pay Once you have added a bill, you can begin the process of setting up Bill Pay.
Select the Bills & Income tab. Select the gear icon. Select Set up with Quick Pay Bill Pay. Choose a checking account and select Enable. Enter the following information about your payment account. You may need to consult your bank to get the appropriate information. Routing number Account number Accountholder name Date of birth Address (The address you have listed with your bank) City, State, Zip Select OK. The screen to enable Check Pay will appear. To enable Check Pay select Send Verification Deposits. Two small deposits ( also called micro-deposits) between $0.01 -$0.99 will be deposited into your checking account in 1 ?3 business days from ?SP -Quicken?. In the next step, you?ll have to enter these amounts to verify your account ownership. Note: These deposits will be offset later by corresponding debits to your account. This may take two or more additional days.
On the Quicken Dashboard, you will see a reminder link to verify your account such as Account needs verification for Check Pay. Select the link. On the Payment Accounts for Bill Manager screen, select Verify. On the Verification screen, enter the two micro-deposit amounts from your checking account. It does not matter what order you enter them in. Select Verify Account. The Payment Accounts for Bill Manager screen will reappear. There should be a check mark under enabled for Check Pay. Select Done. You can now use both Quick Pay and Check Pay through Quicken.
**********On The Bills&Income tab, I see only one payee. When I click the gear icon there, I do *not* have the choice Set up with Quick Pay Bill Pay.
This is all new to me. Can someone give some me guidance on how to set this up for all my many payees, or point me to a web page that does a better job of it than Quicken Help?
